Lest we forget....

 

Just in case we have forgotten who originally gave us our constitutional values, here are a couple of quotes from Thomas Jefferson as a reminder.


"No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms (within his own lands or tenements)."
--Thomas Jefferson: Draft Virginia Constitution with (his note added), 1776. Papers, 1:353

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).


"One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them."
--Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1796. ME 9:341

Whether you own a gun for protection, sporting or simply because you CAN,  always remember that it's because we are a FREE NATION. If you don't like guns, don't own one.

Teaching the next Generation

 Here is a link to a new campaign to spread the word about global warming to our children through the public school system.
"Global Warming Challenge is a national environmental education and community action campaign for students 3rd grade to 12th".

It looks as if this "challange" is in it's infant stages, but I would suspect they will do well. And we should be teaching about global warming. We need to fill class room time with something being we don't teach  enough math, english or true science any longer.

I will be doing some research on this site as well as some background on the founder and contributors.

New gun bill proposed

It didn't take long for the federal government to start looking at ways to start chipping away at our Second Amendment rights. I don't believe this would get past President Bush's desk, but 2008 is not that far away.

Al Gore is just not cool anymore

    Three alarm film? I guess the New York Times love affair with Al Gore is coming to an end.

Explaining Global Warming

This will be my first post at Townhall.
Global Warming and the Second Amendment are my pet issues.  The wife will be sending most of the info on the enviroment. The right to bear and conceal arms will be mostly my doing. Our son will offer his thoughts as well, although I have yet to tell him that he's contributing. And as to what he will discuss; well.... I will leave that to him.

Here we Go!

My home of Colorado has decided to become an all blue state this election cycle.....and I'm scared! I mentioned to my wife (half jokingly mind you) that within two months the dems would start hacking at the concealed carry laws or introduce roll-backs of the laws we have in place. To our surprise, it took less than two weeks! 

And of course, renewable energy is the mandate for our Govenor Bill Ritter.  Now don't get me wrong, A clean Colorado and Earth are important to the wife and I. But let's not kill our economy and force the less fortunate in our communities to foot the bill.

As we look for the truth in the media, and try to bring some FACTS, rather than some persons blind opinion, we hope that you find some knowledge, and maybe a little entertainment.
So, here is the first story we ran into from Fox News.


Read and watch this..... and believe, that here may lie some of the truth behind global warming.
I haven't watched the video yet but the story gives a good outline. We will be watching it this weekend, and post our opinions after.
